Sending my Linn LP 12 Transcription Globally

Maybe you could help me.

So I cannot remember if I should take the hinges off dust cover and pack up cover separately? I have the platter spindle off and have very carefully covered up the post with a small (clean) plastic bag.

What should I cover the female post base hole up with. Will it potentially leak oil?

Arm: I should zero out my anti skate and remove the counter weight? Probably twist tie the arm to the rest?

Any ifo is much appreciated. Any packing diagrams?

I have the original box

Thank you, mark
